The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 31 The Master of Pavilion Mu has a legacy strategy, and the shadows are present in an ambush ([-])
Ma Wuyou didn't look at Mu Qing, but looked at the only person in the field he didn't know, "Aren't you a hidden stake?"

"I'm not."

"You don't know that I am the hidden stake in Yuan Pavilion?"

"I do not know."

"who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary marquis in Jicheng, Yunzhou."

Ma Wuyou sighed heavily, and understood everything, this was just a trap set by Mu Qing.In fact, this trap is not very clever and full of loopholes, but the rhythm of Mu Qing's design is simply too terrible.The intentional release of the news, the assassination by the Xiuhe River, the appearance of Tu Wei, and even the suspicion of Que Xing, after a few steps, Ma Wuyou had to jump into this trap.

From ancient times to the present, there are no invincible strategies, only powerful executors and conspirators.

Ma Wuyou looked at Mu Qing, and Mu Qing also looked at him calmly.

"You don't know who is the hidden stake between me and Que Xing?"

"I do not know."

Ma Wuyou was stunned, then why did he force himself to jump into this trap?What if it's wrong?What if the hidden pile is missing?

Mu Qing said lightly: "Que Xing is on his way here."

Ma Wuyou smiled bitterly, Mu Qing is Mu Qing, he will use similar methods to screen Que Xing again, until he is sure which of the two is the hidden stake and who is the trustworthy one.

"The pavilion master has always been smarter than me, and has thought ahead of me in everything."

"Press it down." The tiger shooter took Ma Wuyou to the next yard. Ma Wuyou didn't resist, nor did he run away. He knew that he had lost completely. Facing the mighty Mu Qing, he didn't plan to run away, but calmed down. face.

Less than half an hour later, Mu Qing opened the door and came in, followed by Tu Wei, Xiu Ze, and Que Xing.

Que Xing has passed the test, he is not a hidden stake, the hidden stake is him, editorial secretary Langzhong, Ma Wuyou.

Mu Qing looked at Ma Wuyou, and Ma Wuyou also looked at Mu Qing calmly, everything is fake, maybe even this village is fake, there are no villagers, only Yuan Pavilion Marquis and Tiger Shooter.

"You have been with me for 20 years. In these 20 years, you, like them, have made great contributions to Yuan Pavilion."

Mu Qing's words brought the thoughts of everyone present back to 20 years ago.At that time, they were all young when they just came down from Mojian Island, Que Xing was the most courageous, Tu Wei had the hottest temper, Ma Wuyou was the least talkative, and Mu Qing was their core and brain. The arrangement made Mu Qing start to train his own team from then on.

20 years have passed, and the high-spirited young people have become the mainstay of Yuan Pavilion, Ma Wuyou also said with emotion: "Yes, 20 years have passed in a flash, it flies so fast."

"You betrayed Kuoda to the Tianxiong people?"

"That's it."

"Are you from Tianyuan Dao?"

Ma Wuyou smiled contemptuously: "I still don't like those gangsters who play tricks."

Mu Qing followed suit with a smile, and suddenly restrained his smile and said, "Kuoda's family died a miserable death."

Ma Wuyou remained silent, of course he knew what would happen to the captured Hou Zhe.

"Tianxiong Kingdom also got 10,000+ pieces of our weapons, and they will all be used to kill Xia Kingdom's soldiers."

Ma Wuyou laughed at himself and said: "The pavilion master doesn't need to use righteousness to suppress me, I am someone else's hidden stake, and it is also for righteousness."

"Oh?" There was also a hint of doubt in Mu Qing's eyes.

"When one day, you find that everything you guard is worthless, everything you believe in is illusory, and those you protect are all damned, I believe that you will choose like me."

As soon as the words fell, Ma Wuyou spat out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow". Just now, he had taken the poison while others were unprepared. Soon, his eyes, nose and ears began to ooze blood, and his thin body collapsed. The ground, only the eyes are still open.

Xiu Ze leaned forward to check, then stood up and said, "Wuyi, there is no solution."

Mu Qing didn't speak. The black clothes are poisons successfully developed by Yuange Tiangong Division last year. They are specially designed for tiger shooters to smear on crossbow arrows to increase their power. Even horses can't resist them for half an hour, let alone humans.When Ma Wuyou was found out, he already had the will to die, and Mu Qing didn't have the extravagant hope to make him tell everything.

"Bury him honorably."

Mu Qing walked out slowly, in the eyes of Tu Wei and others, the pavilion master seemed to have aged 20 years.

In the early morning, a piece of news spread throughout the mansions in Kyoto.

The owner of Yuan Pavilion, Mu Qing, returned with his whole body, and the editor-in-chief, Ma Wuyou, committed himself to the country in order to save Mu Qing.

"Pa-ta", a teacup fell to pieces on the ground, King Rong Wei Changqian stared dumbfoundedly at the eldest son Wei Zhangyuan who brought the news to him, "Mu Qing is not dead? Ma Wuyou is dead?"

Wei Zhangyuan also had a look of distress. Within one night, things turned around. The damned Mu Qing didn't die, but the damned Ma Wuyou died.

Promise the country with your body?Wei Zhangyuan could think of what happened with his toes.

"Do you think Ma Wuyou confessed us?"

Wei Zhangyuan shook his head, his father was affected by the sudden news, if Ma Wuyou confessed them, the Rongwang Mansion has already been wiped out by Xiaoqi, how can he still sit here?

Wei Changqian knew that he had lost his composure, so he collected himself and asked, "Where is Mu Qing now?"

"It's time to enter the palace for a face-to-face meeting. The imperial edict has just been sent from the palace, and it will be canceled this morning. It seems that the emperor will have a long talk with Mu Qing in the morning."

Wei Changqian thought for a while, "You send someone to contact our people in the palace, see if you can get some news."

"Father, it's not appropriate to act rashly at this time!" Wei Zhangyuan was anxious, what happened to his father today, he often made foolish tricks, and now he went to the palace to inquire about the news, was it because he was afraid that others would not know that he was guilty?

"Father, don't worry, our meeting with Ma Wuyou is extremely confidential and will not be found out. Right now, let's not be influenced by Mu Qing, and we should act according to the previous deployment. The key now is not here, it is in the north." and west."

Wei Changqian finally calmed down, the gaffe just now was mainly because Ma Wuyou was someone he valued very much, and he was also a very important person in King Rong's rebel team.Unexpectedly, Mu Qing dragged him out as soon as he made a move. The master of Yuan Pavilion is indeed an old fox.

Mu Qing is in the imperial study at the moment.

The emperor still had a sullen expression on his face, "Well, Mu Qing, you even kept it from me, and I played a good show with you."

The emperor was really furious. Mu Qing's plan had deceived everyone, and the emperor severely scolded the court officials. Moreover, because he was worried about Mu Qing's safety, the emperor stayed up all night with bloodshot eyes.

Mu Qing was a little moved, but also a little embarrassed. This time, he was able to successfully lure Ma Wuyou, relying on one word - fast, so fast that Ma Wuyou had no time to think about deeper plans, and it was precisely for this reason that Mu Qing Qing didn't tell the emperor, nor did he tell Tu Wei the truth, but misled them through a series of false appearances, otherwise, once they knew the truth, how could they act so naturally.

The emperor didn't go into it any further. Mu Qing was single-handedly promoted, both as a minister and as a friend. Fortunately, this matter finally had a good result.

"Ma Wuyou committed suicide without explaining anything?"

Mu Qing nodded without changing his face, he was not going to tell the emperor everything about last night.Ma Wuyou's words before his death have always troubled Mu Qing, everything you protect is not worth it, everything you believe in is illusory, and those under your protection are damned, these three words seem to have some magical power, let Mu Qing Qing was lost in thought.

"You are confused." The emperor looked at Mu Qing firmly.

"The minister is thinking, what step has their plan reached, and which chess pieces have not moved."

The emperor's face turned dark all of a sudden, he knew what Mu Qing was talking about, from Chang Guangsheng's murder to the ordnance theft case, to everything that happened in the Hongshi Dongshan Canyon that Yang Sheng had told him, Mu Qing had gradually figured it out This net in the dark.

"Don't worry, let them emerge slowly. What I want is to catch them all, no matter who is behind them."

Mu Qing nodded, he knew the emperor too well, he either didn't do it or did it absolutely, in the past 18 years, no one was his opponent.

As the sun rises, the bustling atmosphere of Kyoto surrounds the palace from all directions. Mu Qing firmly believes that this is the strongest and best summer.
